Strayer CIS512 Week 4 Assignment 2 Multiprocessing

CIS 512 Week 4 Assignment 2
Multiprocessing
Increasing the number of CPUs in a computer system tends to
increase system performance. There are different types of multiprocessor
architectures available today. These include the master-slave multiprocessing
(MSMP) architecture and symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) architecture.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
Compare and contrast the MSMP and SMP architectures in terms of:
memory access I/O resources access instruction execution throughput
Hyperthreading refers to the parallel execution two (2) or more threads
simultaneously. Determine if hyperthreading is possible with MSMP and SMP.
Support your answer. Evaluate the type of applications that the MSMP
architecture is well suited for. Explain why these applications are well suited
for this architecture. Evaluate the type of applications the SMP architecture
is well suited for. Explain why these applications are well suited for this
architecture. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment.
Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.Your
assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12),
with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or
school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
instructions. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover
page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page
length.The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment
are:
Compare and contrast the types and role of distributed software
architecture. Use technology and information resources to research issues in
enterprise architecture. Write clearly and concisely about Advanced Computer
Architecture topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style
conventions.
